What types of Mercana dining tables are available?

Mercana dining tables are available in 4 main formats: round pedestal tables, oval tables, rectangular trestle tables, and extendable tables. Pedestal bases free up legroom on round tables, trestle bases give rectangular tables a farmhouse look, and extendable tables add length when guests arrive.

Which Mercana dining table is best for your space?

The best Mercana dining table depends on room size and how many people you seat most often.

•        Choose a 42 or 48 inch round pedestal table if you are furnishing a breakfast nook or a small dining room, since a round top lets 4 people sit without corners in the way.

•        Choose the 60 inch Swanson round table if you seat 6 regularly and want everyone within easy reach of the center.

•        Choose an oval or trestle table, such as Sohan or Suke, if you host dinners for 8 and have a long, narrow dining room.

•        Choose the Kendrix extendable table if your guest list changes often, since it grows from 84 to 104 inches (213 to 264 cm).

What is the difference between solid wood and stone dining tables?

The difference between solid wood and stone dining tables is how the top feels, ages, and needs care. Solid wood tops in mango, elm, or oak feel warm, show grain and character, and can be refinished over time. Marble and travertine tops are cool, heavy, and naturally veined, with each slab unique. Compare more stone styles in marble top dining tables.

How much space do you need around a dining table?

You need about 36 inches (91 cm) between the dining table edge and walls or furniture so chairs slide out easily. Plan about 24 inches (61 cm) of table edge per person. A 60 inch (152 cm) round table needs a room of roughly 11 feet (3.4 m) square to keep that clearance on every side.

What affects the price of a dining table?

The price of a dining table depends on the top material, the base, and the size.

•        Top material: kiln-dried solid hardwood and genuine stone slabs cost more than veneer or manufactured wood.

•        Thickness: thicker tops add weight, presence, and material cost.

•        Base: sculptural pedestals and trestle bases need more wood and joinery than simple legs.

•        Size and function: longer tables and extension mechanisms add material and hardware.

Do Mercana dining tables come in matching sets?

Mercana dining tables come in matching sets in the Terra collection, which pairs a 60 inch (152 cm) round fluted table with dining chairs and, in larger sets, a sideboard or cabinet in a dark brown finish. Most other Mercana tables are sold on their own, so you can mix them with chairs in a contrasting material. Pair your table with Mercana dining chairs in cane, leather, or upholstered styles.
